Simon Property Group (SPG) and Humana have partnered to launch the Humana Walking Club at 21 Simon centers across the United States. The initiative aims to promote physical activity and foster community engagement, with no cost for participants.

The program, running from August to December 2025, will feature organized mall walks, fun challenges, and opportunities for guests to connect with others. The initiative is designed to inspire physical activity and promote well-being, particularly among older adults. The collaboration leverages Simon's omnichannel marketing capabilities to deliver actionable consumer insights to Humana.

Simon Property Group's stock has experienced a 6% price increase over the past month, driven by positive earnings guidance and the new health initiative. The company's long-term performance has been robust, with total returns including dividends reaching 256.01% over the past five years. However, in the past year, Simon's performance was mixed, outperforming the US Retail REITs industry but underperforming the broader US market's gain.

The Humana Walking Club is expected to boost foot traffic and generate new revenue streams through data monetization and brand partnerships. The initiative aligns with Simon's strategy of transforming properties into experience-focused environments, which could contribute to stable rent growth and diversified income streams over time. The consensus analyst price target for Simon Property Group is US$182.25, slightly below the current price of US$172.59, suggesting analysts view the company as fairly valued.

The partnership with Humana positions Simon to capitalize on the growing demand for experiential retail while aligning with broader demographic and economic trends. The program supports Simon's stock growth and positions it as a leader in experiential retail, leveraging first-party data and community engagement for long-term competitive advantage.
